Excerpt from Fundamentals of Naval Service Fundamentals of Naval Service has been pre pared to serve as a Manual to those of our citizens who are interested in the United States Navy and who may choose to serve their country on the water. It is evident that much Of importance must be omitted from a book of such limited pages, but the bibliography should furnish a means to those whose appetite for knowl edge goes further than the capabilities of this volume. The great increases in the personnel of the navy must be supplied in part from our inland states, where the navy and its work is little known, to the citizens of those states this book gives in a single volume information on naval matters possible to obtain only by the reading of many different volumes. All those who go Upon the water, either for pleasure or duty, it is hoped, will find it useful, epitomizing as it does a variety of information upon a large number of subjects. Thanks are due to Commanders F. R. Payne and F. A. Traut, U. S. Navy, for assistance in the prepara tion of the chapter on Naval Reserve and to Lieutenant John Stapler, U. S. Navy, in the preparation of the development of the torpedo. Also to those writers on naval subjects who will find their own thoughts and expressions in the warp and woof of the weaving the author makes grateful acknowledgment. The manuscript of this book has been read by, and published with the approval of, the U. S. Navy Department.
